Trade Intelligence
Trade Intelligence & Market Analysis
Data-driven analysis that helps identify procurement, sourcing, tariff, and landed-cost opportunities.
Torus uses a combination of specialized commercial databases, government data, market information, and proprietary analysis to evaluate global supply chains and identify opportunities to reduce procurement costs.
Our analysts use trade and supply-chain intelligence to understand:
- Import and export activity
- Supplier and buyer relationships
- Tariff and duty exposure
- Freight and transportation costs
- Country-of-origin considerations
- Commodity and market conditions
- Supply-chain concentration and risk
- Alternative sourcing opportunities
- Total landed cost
This information is used internally by Torus as part of our procurement and strategic sourcing engagements.
